Show WHO RECEIVES THE FREE TICKETS TO CALIFORNIA? Thl Mh?T Teater Haf Bn nS&d for 9:30 O'Clock A. M, Labor Day, for the Standard Subscribers to Meet and Vote Away Bye Free Tickets to California and Back Hold Tight to Your Receipts Until You Find Out Who Are the Candidates. The Ogden Standard has engaged the Orphoura theatre for the morning of Labor day for the subscribers to meet in at 9:30 o'clock In the morning morn-ing for the purpose of voting to whom thpy please the five round trip tickets fo San Diego and San Francisco, which the Standard has donated to Its subscribers for this year. It Is only two weeks from Monday until Labor day, and every subscriber of the Standard, who has paid his or her subscription for months after June 1st, 1915, will be entitled to one cte at this subscribers' meeting in voting the tickots to some subscriber of the Standard or member of his or her family. , The Standard management has not the least idea what action tho convention con-vention will take or how they will proceed, but whatever action is taken each subjjeribor will be entitled to vote one vote for each month's subscription sub-scription paid for the month of Juno, 1915, and for every month thereafter, providing such payments have been made after June 1st, 1914. There are some subscribers who havo paid five and ten years In advance in former contests. All such payments wero made prior to June 1st, 1914 None of those subscription recoipts count because those subscribers paid their money on former contests and will not be recognized in the present contest, con-test, but every subscription paid after June 1st, 1915, will be entitled to one vote for each month's subscription paid for months after June 1st, 1915. The Standard has been asked by various va-rious people questions like the following: fol-lowing: Can one person hold proxies for other subscriptions? Our answer Vina Vionn ""?- ' XT nHH..f 111 t .....j uu nu iu piUAIUS Will DC allowed, but persons holding receipts for others may vote on those receipts. Only the subscription receipts issued by the Standard are entitled to votes. Another question has been asked: Can any person solicit for these receipts? re-ceipts? Our answer is, wo have no advice to offer, but persons holding receipts will be allowed to vote, which would naturally mean that there could bo no objections to gathering gath-ering up receipts. Again the Standard Stand-ard has been asked, can a lodge ask Its members to support any one candidate candi-date Our answer has been that a person holding receipts will be entitled en-titled to cast the votes. It will be seen from the answer to those questions that the Standard gives the subscribers a free hand in disposing of these tickets. The rules have been published from time to time and will be published several times between now and Labor day two weeks from Monday. Tho Standard Stand-ard has but one object in view and that is to give its subscribers these five round trip tickets and let them voto these tickets to the most worthy subscribers, or member of a subscriber's subscrib-er's family. We have been asked If several applicants for those tickets could gather up receipts and then, at the convention of subscribers, juin forces by casting their votes for each other. We have answered that every person holding a proper receipt Is entitled en-titled to cast his vote and a majority of tho votes present at this meeting will have full power to regulate the casting of the votes so long as they do not violate the rules established by the paper. Therefore, it is hard for the Standard to state just what the subscribers will do. The Standard will be represented at the meeting and will Insist upon the rules being observed, and as these rules make the subscribers present at the subscribers' convention supreme, It will readily be seen that it will bo e subscribers who will dictate the ethod of procedure pro-cedure according to the rules. The Standard, of course, would prefer pre-fer that each ofthe subscribers appear ap-pear at the convention personally, but It cannot object to the receipts being given to others, but no' subscriber can vote at this convention unless he holds his receipts. -00 . |
